Navigating code

Go to Definition, Find All References, Go To All, navigation history and breadcrumbs — fast navigation in a decompiler.

Glass.NET makes decompiled code navigable: jump to definitions, find every reference, search everything, and walk your history.

Go to Definition

Put the caret on a type or member and press F12, or Ctrl+Click / double-click it directly in the editor. Glass resolves the symbol and opens its definition. References are tracked precisely from the decompiler’s own syntax tree, so navigation lands on the right symbol — not a text match.

Find All References

Press Shift+F12 on a symbol (or right-click it in the Assembly Explorer ▸ Find All References). Glass scans the assembly and streams every usage into the Find Results panel at the bottom. Double-click a result to jump to it.

Go To All

Press Ctrl+T to open the quick-open box, then start typing. It fuzzy-matches across every type and member in every loaded assembly. Use the arrow keys and Enter to open the selection, Esc to dismiss.

Every jump is recorded. Walk it with Ctrl+- (backward) and Ctrl+Shift+- (forward), or the ←/→ arrows above the tab strip.

A namespace ▸ type ▸ member breadcrumb sits above the editor so you always know where you are; the type segment is clickable.

Tabs

Single-clicking a tree item opens a preview tab (shown in italics); double-click, or edit the tab, to promote it to a permanent tab. Right-click a tab for Close / Close Others / Close All / Keep Open.
